Is it me, or did they take the design of this bugger straight out of Star Wars, giving it that Darth Vader Death Star touch and adding a little color to make it seem refreshing?
These little fools are just so exited. The faster they blast their particles into each other, the more exited they get, all in the name of finding this tiny little thing called the Higgs Boson; but of course, if they do find the Higgs Boson, and it proves the elements of string theory that they are seeking to complete their latest little web of scientific BS, they will discover (as happened with the discovery of the atom) that they'll need to keep searching for the next thing, they'll find that even within the Higgs Boson is more empty space, and on and on into infinity because impermanent man can never discover the true nature of infinity, hence that old adage about never looking directly at God because it will consume you and burn you up. We are well on our way.
This is certainly one of the most significant wastes of time and money in the history of the universe.
"CERN announced early Monday that the Large Hadron Collider has become the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator. The LHC pushed protons to 1.18 TeV (trillion electron volts), surpassing the previous record of 0.98 TeV held by Fermilab’s Tevatron...
Now, 10 days after it turned on again, scientists are celebrating with their fingers crossed that the machine is safely on its way to the physics experiments they plan to begin next year when the LHC has reached its target energy of 7 TeV."

click title for an interview with one of the know-it-alls who supports this terribly dangerous crap. How these people can say that what they are doing is not utterly threatening to life on earth, I can't understand. We have "scientists" and inventors to thank for nuclear weapons, guns, every other type of bomb, genetically modified foods, increasing incidence of cancer and on and on and on. They always say "don't worry, we're just trying to help, check out this cool thing we invented... watch this." Kaboom.
Reminds me of the passage that Robert Oppenheimer is reported to have recited after the Trinity Atomic bomb test in the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) desert:
If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky,
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds.
The Bhagavad-Gita
I'll say it again, our race would be wise to get dumb before the boxes we are opening swallow existence all together.
